I've had several questions/misconceptions about the new_poll function. Some users think of the new_poll function as something similar to IPB's New Poll button, this is not the case. You can think of the new_poll function as an equivilent to IPB's "Attach Poll to Topic" feature. When you pass a topic id to this function, it should already exists. If you wish to emulate the "New Poll" feature of IPB, you should firstly create a new topic using new_topic, before using new_poll.
ipcn
$topicid = $SDK->new_topic('4', 'New Topic', 'New Topic with Poll', 'Test for Poll');
$SDK->new_poll($topicid, 'Testing new Poll', array('Test','Test 2','Test3'));
The above will create a new topic and attach a new poll to it. A nice easy way to do it
